BANGALORE, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Infosys Ltd.,
India's No. 2 software services provider, said Ashok Vemuri, a
member of the company's board of directors and head of its
operations in the Americas, has resigned.

Vemuri, who was also the company's global head of
manufacturing and engineering services, was widely considered to
be a contender for the top job at the company when current chief
executive S.D. Shibulal's term ends in 2015.

Sanjay Jalona, currently the regional head for manufacturing
in North America, will take over as the global head of
manufacturing, Infosys said in a statement.
